GREAT JAP SOLDIER
DIES OF APOPLEXY
SENDAI, Japan, Sept. 18. —General
Count Sakuma, one of the greatest of
Japanese soldiers, died here on Aug.
sth from apoplexy. His most valua
ble work was the subjugation of the
fierce native tribes of Formosa, of
which island possession he later be
came governor. He took part in the
Japanese civil war of restoration and
POLICE KEEPS CITY
OF PARIS CLEAN OF
ALL OIKimOLES
PARIS, Sept. 18— Promenaders on
the grand boulevards of Paris have
recently been treated to a spectacle
comparatively rare since the beginning
of the war —general police raids such
as were effected at regular intervals
during the days of the “Apaches.’’
In the 9th and 18th arrondissements,
comprising Montmartre and Belleville,
the favorite quarters of the lawless
element, and on the grand boulevards,
the raids are most thorough. They are
organized by Monsieur Roussolet, chief
of one of the metropolitan districts
who has under his orders eight com
missaires of police and two police cap
tains, who command four squads of
“plain clothes” men that sweep the
boulevards. Two. squads operating on
both sides of the boulevard start from
rue de Faubourg Poissonnicre; while
two other squads start from the Made
leine, and they work toward each other.
Every man and woman unknown to
the police as a law-abiding person
must show papers. The result of a
recent raid of this kind was the veri
fication of the papers of 52 profes
sional beggars, 4 cocaine merchants
11 special vagabonds, 17 deserters and
703 women of the street. Os these 512
were arrested.
Besides the rounds of the plain
clothes men on the hunt for civilians
in default, subaltern officers of the
army now make nightly rounds of the
wine shops and cases for delinquent
soldiers. When one is seen inside a
wineshop after the stroke of nine, a
sharp reminder in thejfcrm of a sin
gle word “militaire” ■C.ings him to a
realization that martial law is still in
force, and he salutes meekly and re
turns to his quarters.
FEARS THAT AMERICA
WILL ABSORB ALL ART
LONDON, Sept. 18. —The fear that
hundreds of England’s valuable art
works will be forced on the market as
a result of war’s economic pressure,
and will be forever lost through pur
chase by wealthy Americans, is ex
pressed by the art critics of the Dailj
Mail.
“It is none too soon,” he urges, “tc
look ahead to a condition that will
prevail in the art market as an after
math of the war, which will imperil
our continued possession of maany
national treasures.
“Imoprtant works of art privately
owned, in which the people of the na
tion may properly be said to have a
reversionary interest, will be thrown
on the market, and that will not be the
time when the rich ‘neutral’ will re
frain from pressing his advantage. The
unprotected state of important works
which agitated the trustees of the
national collections before the war
will thus become a more than ever
urgent matter.
“It is now out of the question that
the Government could compete in
the picture profit market, but there
seems no reason why it should not
constitute itself the agent where the
country’s interests are obviously af
fected.
“It has long been perceived that
this country has become a buying
place only for great works of art and
that selling practically always mean?
selling out of the country. This state
of affairs will continue, with aggrava
tion from conditions arising out of
the war, irrespective of the Importance
of the works allowed to depart, if the
people do not awaken to the fact that
it is their own inheritance that is be
ing disposed of, and, as soon as great
events permit, make it their particular
business to bring the Government to a
sense of its responsibility toward,
them in this matter.”
won honors for his service in the
Japan-China war, especially at the
tattle of Wei-hei-wei, where he fought
under General Oyama, now Marshal
I Prince Oyama, one of the elder states
‘men. General Sakuma was 71 years
of age.

CHIRA WATCHES CLOSER
ALLIANCE £ CZAR-JAP
PEKIN, Sept. 18.—Commenting up
on the remarks of M. Sazonoff, the
Russian minister of foreign affairs
made in the Duma concerning the pos
sibility of a closer alliance between
Russia and Japan, the Pekin Daily
News says it is a “pronouncement
fraught with the deepest import for
China.’’
The paper continues: “For some
time we have known that conversa
tions were passing between Russia and
Japan with a view to an alliance, and
we have already pointed out the possi
ble explanation which is that Japan
by her action toward China has
brought hersqlf into international dis
repute, and is oonsequentiy anxious
t 0 have a friend in Europe, the more
so that she has somewhat strained the
alliance with Great Britain. But in
view of the opinion expressed from
London that the conclusion of an al
liance between Japan and Russia
should be left until after the war.
nothing more was to be expected on
the subject. The statement now made
in the Russian Duma would suggest
that the overtures from Japan have
been favorably received in Petrograd
Consequently Japan’s sense of nations 1
importance will be enhanced by the
prospect of an advantageous alliance
“It is, perhaps, too early to discuss
the effects of such an alliance as is
foreshadowed i:. M. Sazanoff’s state
ments, but speculations are likely to be
made in China, which must, of course
be vitally concerned in such an agree
ment. One immediate result would be
! the tendency on the part of Japan to
greater arrogance, but there is little
I doubt that the conclusion of the treaty
I itself would bring about an increased
sense of responsibility and an appre
i elation of its limitations. Possibly
i such an alliance would decide the fate
■ of Manchuria, for we cannot shut our
i eyes to the fact that Japan wants ter
! ritorial rights in addition to political
: and economic privileges. But if the
i Japanese influence be increased in that
i region it may possibly slacken in other
- parts of our country, because it must
i be borne in mind that whatever the
. outcome of the present war, the Brit-
ish navy is likely to come out su
preme, and that being so, it is only to
be expected that Great Britain will not
rely to the same extent on Japan for
preserving the peace of the Far East
or for preserving whatever naval bal
ance may then exist.”
Cupid’s Wireless
Stretches Across
The Ocean
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 18.—A
unique romance of the war, stretch
ing all the way from the fighting
trenches of the Argonne into Los Ang
eles home, has just been revealed.
The principals in this strange bit of
Cupid's diary are Count Lucien de
Griscourt, across the Atlantic, and
Miss Mary Edith Buffington, of this
city.
A letter written where the shrapnel
is flying, has reached Miss Buffington.
It carries her back in memory to a
certain night in the American embas
sy at Paris when she met the disting
uished diplomat, now at the front.
In the letter Miss Buffington, for
1

merly of Philadelphia, is reminded
that on that occasion she recited a
poem by Jules Claretie with so much
feeling and ability that it lingered in
the mind of the French nobleman.
At that time Miss Buffington hap
penede to be one of the best students
of Moskowski in Paris.
But that all happened some time
ago. So Miss Buffington was a very
surprised young lady when the mis
sive from the firing line reached her.
To return to the contents of this
far-traveled letter:
“When 1 lay wounded in the lodge
of my gatekeeper, I often thought of
the wonderful American girl with the
great emerald green eyes. When I
closed win e I could see her perfect
lips breathe the lines of Claretie’s and
her aristocratic face turn pale under
the emotion of the moment. And
1 when I fell asleep I dreamed that the
good war nurse beside me nad rich
i chestnut brown hair like yours, and a
• voice that was melody itself, just like
i yours—”
Miss Buffington is an artist. Soon
-1 aftfer she returned from abroad her
j cousin, Francis B. Sayre, married Miss
1 Jessie Wilson.
